With a good car and strong motors, Jr is going to be tough. He may take a lot of glory from the bobsie twins, Jeff and Jimmie.

He races with junk every week and had it not been for some crappy equipment he would have several top 5's and maybe even a win. For all that say no...you're gonna be disappointed. The 88 is gonna be tough next year. See yall at ATLANTA By all means Jr can contend. He races with junk every week and had it not been for some

When Ken Schrader ran the third car for hendrick I dont think he was given the sme or as good equipment.If he gets the same equipment or better he will do ok. But he will have to learn how to drive a hendrick car because of their setups. I hope he will win and get a championship.

Good Luck at Daytona June...JR NATION is behind you 150%..and we all look forward to all your wins nexxt season..majority of them in the chase i hope :)[/quote] Ok, this is off topic but why does everyone bag on Kyle Petty, he wasen't born into good equiptment,he came into the sport in 79 and didn't move to Petty Enterprises until 97, You all seem to forget the year he was in the championship fight in the last race of the season. But back on topic, Jr will do better next season, but its going to be a few years before he wins a championship. Gordon and Johnson are the top two in the sport right now, and its not all equiptment. Take Jeff out of a hendrick car and put him in a gibbs, dei,childress, or any other car and he will still run great. Equiptment is critical but not just anyone can win in a Hendrick car.

He has to compete with them ANYWAYS no matter which team he drove for. I think he'll do much better, hopefully a championship in the next few years. I just want some wins!

I think he will definitely do better there. Maybe even win a championship. Someone tell Trey to calm down. Jimmie is an awesome driver. It’s true, he’ll drive just as well with any other team.

He has been running up front for most of the races this season but he hasn't been able to hold it for the win due to DEI engine failure. He will have a much better chance of winning a cup title even if it isn't neccesarily next year. Now that he's with a winning team he will most likely win a championship soon.
